Fullstack React Native Developer

Before TuneCore, artists needed to be signed to a record label to sell their music online. In 2006, we democratized the industry by partnering directly with digital stores and streaming platforms to enable any musician to sell their songs worldwide while retaining 100% ownership of their music. Today, TuneCore is the leading independent development partner for self-releasing artists to build audiences and careers, with technology and services across distribution, publishing administration and a range of promotional services. TuneCore is headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, and owned by Paris-based Believe, one of the world’s leading digital music companies. The company is one of the fastest growing companies in the music industry and is actively investing in the continued growth of the business.

We have made it our mission to best serve artists and labels at each stage of their development in the digital world. We are a company that cares deeply about our people and our creator community, advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion across all of our platforms and throughout our business. The pursuit of innovation inspires us to work hard for our artists, while collaboration drives the way we work and approach our company’s social responsibility.

Join TuneCore as we embark on the next phase of innovation in the music industry. Be part of the team that bridges the unmet and evolving needs of creators by building the tools and services that make their lives better.

The Role

TuneCore Engineering builds the web and mobile applications that power the world’s leading music distribution platform for independent artists. We’re looking for a Fullstack React Native Developer to help build our next-generation mobile experience — someone equally comfortable shipping polished React Native features and building the Rails APIs that power them.

This is a senior-level role: you’ll own significant technical scope, set direction on mobile architecture and practices, and mentor other engineers, while staying hands-on in the codebase.

Leadership Expectations

- Provide technical leadership on mobile architecture decisions, balancing durability and scalability against delivery speed
- Set and evolve coding standards and best practices for the mobile codebase
- Give effective, constructive code review feedback to other engineers
- Mentor and guide engineers on the team in both technical growth and career development
- Research and recommend new tools and technologies where they’d meaningfully improve the team’s output

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain cross-platform mobile applications using React Native for iOS and Android from a single codebase; Build and maintain the Rails API endpoints that power the mobile app — request/response contracts, background jobs, and data models the client depends on; Work closely with product, design, and backend engineers to translate designs and wireframes into high-quality, reusable code across the full stack; Integrate RESTful APIs and third-party SDKs, optimize app performance, responsiveness, and stability; Write unit and integration tests, and help shape our mobile testing strategy as we build out React Native end-to-end coverage; Debug and resolve platform-specific issues, including native modules and bridging; Manage app store submissions and release processes for both the App Store and Google Play; Stay current with the React Native ecosystem and mobile best practices, and bring relevant updates back to the team; Uphold TuneCore’s core mission, vision, and values in the code you ship and the decisions you make

Requirements

Skills and Attributes; 6+ years of experience writing production code, including 3+ years building and shipping mobile applications; Strong proficiency in React / React Native, and in JavaScript/TypeScript; Demonstrated fluency with Ruby on Rails in production — building and maintaining API-only Rails services, not just “a web framework of some kind”; Familiarity with state management approaches (we currently use React Query and Context API); Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and mobile release workflows; Understanding of mobile UI/UX principles and platform guidelines (Apple HIG, Material Design); Experience with REST APIs and async data handling, GraphQL a plus; Experience with native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) or Android (Kotlin/Java) a plus, but not required; Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience

Benefits

Paid Time Off including vacation, holidays, paid bereavement, unlimited paid sick days, and company-wide week off between Christmas and New Years—every employee needs time to take care of themselves and their family.; “Wellness Fridays” year-round (close at 1pm on Fridays); Universal Paid Parental Leave for both parents - because we know your newest family member(s) deserve your undivided attention.; Comprehensive health, vision, dental, FSA and dependent care from day 1 of employment - your health comes first.; 401k match - an investment in your future.; Company wide events, outings and volunteer days – we have team spirit and know how to have fun!; Hybrid Work - employees have the option to work primarily remotely and work from the office 8 days per month on a flexible schedule organized at the department level, in accordance with Company policies.; Learning and development opportunities and career development training – we believe in promoting and growing our leadership from within the company and proactively invest in our people.; Free distribution subscription for employees – so you can experience the magic of releasing music worldwide (and give us valuable feedback!).
